The Volvo V40 uses OE coolant for its engine. If you encounter problems with the engine, you may experience issues such as excessive oil consumption, leading to the need for more frequent oil changes. The most severe problem you could face is engine overheating, which may result in fires or even the vehicle exploding. If you notice a loose gasket, it should be tightened promptly. A loose spark plug could also lead to engine troubles. Any oil leaks should be addressed promptly. The coolant should be replaced every 60,000 miles. Spark plugs should be changed every 100,000 miles, unless they are copper, in which case they need to be changed every 30,000 miles. Remember to replace your air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.
